The cybersecurity breach at Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. may be one of the largest corporate hacks in history. But what makes it unique is that the breach didn’t just expose personally identifiable information of its employees. It exposed highly confidential and personal emails, notes partner Jeff Neuburger of Proskauer Rose, in this recent post.
In light of the breach and the media firestorm that ensued, Neuburger says companies may change how they view—and protect—data other than what is classified “sensitive.” He draws on Steve Rosenbush’s blog in the Wall Street Journal, calling the Sony hack, cybersecurity’s “Snowden” moment. “The article points out that since the Sony breach, executives are taking steps to reduce or control the use of email so that if communications are leaked, it is not as harmful to an organization,” says Neuburger.
